Chapter 330: Song Yan joins the company
Lingnan Port City, Victoria Bay is still as warm as spring.
Every time the recording of an original good song is a torturous process for Yu Zuo and Yu You.
This kind of torment is not that the recording is too tiring, on the contrary, every time I enter the studio hall, the hot lights are a dozen, which is more comfortable for the double ghosts.
The winter in Shangdu is too cold for them.
"It's snowing over there today." Yu You looked at the news on the Internet, looked up and said to Yu Zuo, who was sitting opposite, "When we go to Shangdu next week, we still have to bring a little more clothes." ”
"It's snowing." Yu Zuo smiled, "I've only seen snow once in my life, do you remember?" We once went north to Tianjing to find Ding Shaoyang, it was winter, and it was snowing heavily. As a result, this guy happened to get married, and the fight didn't work, and it froze us enough. ”
"Of course I remember, we were still young, thin-skinned, and we didn't know each other very well, so we didn't even ask for a glass of wine, and came back in disgrace." Yu You also smiled.
"But it's fine." Yu Zuo smiled, "I didn't ask for it last time, but this time it should be okay." Ding Shaoyang and Deng Qi's wedding, I can't look far away. ”
"Hmm." Yu You nodded, and then said, "Ding Shaoyang is indeed powerful. In terms of talent, I look at today's Chinese music scene, under the fall of the leaves, it is him. Chen Tianhua has watched it for the past two weeks, but he is still too stable to let go. ”
"In short, these people can't be underestimated. In these two rounds, our brothers can be regarded as going all out, but the result is still not pleasing in their hands, especially Ye Luo, who is really getting stronger and stronger. Yu Zuo sighed and said.
"Actually, Ye Luoqiang, I think several other mentors knew it before. After all, in the past six months, we have all seen his tunes. It is indeed a musical genius that is rare in a century. A hint of excitement flashed in Yu You's eyes, "There are also Chen Tianhua and Ding Shaoyang, who are also geniuses." I feel honored to be born in the same era as such an opponent. ”
"yes." Yu Zuo said with a smile, "In fact, as far as the general trend is concerned, the Internet is rising. For original music, the impact is very big, but in the past six months, Chinese pop music has bucked the trend, because of the support of these peerless masters. ”
"It is precisely because of this that we cannot slack off." Yu You said, "If Ye Luo is a big family, there is still a possibility that the shape will deteriorate. On the show of original good songs, even if we adopt some rules that are not very fair to him, we must limit him. At least barely maintain the current situation of competing for hegemony. Otherwise, it will be detrimental to both the general trend of the music industry and the prospects of our record company. ”
"I know that." Yu Zuo sighed, "It's really a bit immoral to deal with a young junior like this, let's try to have a clear conscience." ”
"How are Shi Fei preparing for this week's competition song?" Yu You asked.
"Not bad. I've already heard the demo this morning. Yu Zuo smiled slightly, "That's it." I think at least in the new song of the students, it is firmly in the upper reaches. ”
"Shi Fei is a very good young man." Yu You nodded and said, "After we retire, the music scene in Lingnan can only rely on him." ”
"Well, talent is rare. Let's teach him as much as we can. Hey, I really envy Niu Xueyi, there is such a good student. Yu Zuo smiled bitterly, "What he lost with us in the past has now been won back by his students." ”
……
Tenkyo City. Universal Music Corporation.
On Saturday morning, Chen Tianhua suddenly received a notice that Song Yu, chairman of Universal Music, was initiating a temporary board meeting.
This makes Chen Tianhua a little strange, but five years ago, because of his outstanding performance, the company rewarded him with five percent of the shares, and he was considered a board member. Since there is a board meeting, and others happen to be in China, it is natural to attend.
The original board of directors of Universal had six people, and these six people, thirty years ago, were all playing music, and five of them formed the earliest pop band in Chinese mainland at that time.
The lead singer in this band has a family property on his ancestors, and his parents died early, so no one cares about him.
So the lead singer had the audacity to invest all his family business in a record company that had no concept in China at that time, and invited his college mentor Yan Wuji to join him as the music director, thus founding the first record company in China - Universal.
Thirty years have passed, and these five original dream chasers have already achieved success in their careers. Especially the lead singer, after making the first pot of gold in the record industry, he has been soaring all the way, and he has almost missed a cross-bank investment, and now he is one of the few richest people in China.
The lead singer of the band back then is now the head of the Song Group and the chairman of Universal Entertainment Group, Song Zhaoyan.
Song Zhaoyan has a son and a daughter, the eldest son Song Yu, 27 years old, young and promising, quite a father's style, is now the CEO of Universal Music.
The second daughter, Song Yan, is nineteen years old, seems to have inherited her father's musical talent, and is now a college student at the Shangdu Conservatory of Music.
Today's temporary board of directors, the Song father and daughter, all present.
This made Chen Tianhua, who walked into the venue, a little surprised, because it stands to reason that Song Yan is not a member of the board of directors.
"Xiao Chen is here?" Song Zhaoyan smiled, looked around and said, "Everyone is here, right?" ”
"It's all there." On Song Zhaoyan's right, a young man with a rich god nodded and said, this person is Song Yan's brother, Song Yu.
"Let's get started." Song Zhaoyan said, "I have gathered you here today mainly to introduce to you the new members of our board of directors.
Everyone should know that I hold 45 percent of the company's shares, so today, I will divide 45 percent of the shares into two parts, of which 20 percent I will transfer to Song Yu, and the other 25 percent will be transferred to Song Yan.
In this way, with the addition of the previous holdings, Song Yu has 35% of the company's shares and has become the company's largest shareholder at present.
Song Yan holds 25% of the shares, tied with Yan Lao, and is the second largest shareholder of Universal Entertainment Group.
I will not continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company following the transfer of shares. The chairmanship was succeeded by Song Yu. I believe that after five years of tempering, Song Yu's ability. It has been proven. I can now trust Universal Entertainment Group to him with confidence.
I also hope that everyone will continue to support him. ”
Song Zhaoyan's words did not shake the directors present too much, because since the year before last, Song Zhaoyan's intention to cultivate a successor has been obvious, and everyone knows it. I have been mentally prepared for the arrival of this day.
Song Zhaoyan is less than fifty years old, and he is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, but the Song Group is now a big business, and its subordinate companies are far more than Universal Entertainment, and his energy is slowly being withdrawn from this side, which everyone knows.
And everyone also knows that it will not be Song Yu who will have the world in the end. Song Yu has excellent ability. Universal Entertainment will definitely not be able to keep him in the end, this is just a step for him to exercise his business ability, and it is just a smooth transition for Universal Entertainment.
In the end, it will be Song Yan who owns Universal Records, as well as the entire Universal Entertainment Group.
The directors present, including Yan Wuji, each said something in support of Song Yu. This handover of the head can be regarded as a smooth one.
Song Zhaoyan smiled slightly. He stood up and said, "Okay, since I have stepped down as chairman and director, then I will not attend this meeting as an observer. The next meeting, chaired by Song Yu, will take me on a trip to Europe. The plane is almost there. ”
Song Zhaoyan was a simple person, and left after speaking, although his steps were hurried, his expression was very pleased, and the directors also stood up and sent him away.
Wait until Song Zhaoyan is gone. Yan Wuji glanced at Song Yu and said lightly, "Okay, let's sit in a different position." ”
Song Yu smiled, glanced at his sister, then looked at the main seat of the conference table, shook his head and said, "This position, in the end, it's not mine, just sit down or not, Teacher Chen." ”
Chen Tianhua heard Song Yu call himself and nodded.
"Song Yan has now become a director of the company and wants to enter the company for training. I asked her for her opinion, and she got her eye on your overseas branch. Song Yu said helplessly, "It's very difficult for me to do this." It stands to reason that the overseas branch is the country that you single-handedly brought down, and it is not good for her to do so.
But Mr. Chen, you must also know that in the company, my father is the biggest, and after my father leaves office, I am the biggest for the time being, but in the family, she will always be the biggest. Even if she asked for the stars and the moon, my father and I could only find a way to pick them for her. ”
After Song Yu finished speaking, the directors present were all old men, and they all smiled when they knew the situation of the Song family.
Song Yan glanced at her brother and said softly: "I am as evil as a fierce god." ”
Chen Tianhua knew Song Yu's style of doing things, and he also smiled: "If the chairman has any arrangements, please say it directly." ”
Song Yu nodded and said: "Do you think this is good, Song Yan went to the United States to serve as the president of the overseas branch, Mr. Chen, you have the title of the executive president of the group, and you will help her for a year first, so that she can slowly take over the business of the overseas branch." After you return to China at the end of the one-year period, you will sit on the position of CEO of the group, what do you think? ”
"Okay." Chen Tianhua nodded and smiled, "Actually, this year, I took the initiative to invite Ying to explore overseas markets, because I think the potential of the domestic music market is getting smaller and smaller.
But looking at it now, the domestic music scene is very prosperous now, which is my eyes. If I can go back to China, I will be comfortable here. It's just that overseas things are heavy and difficult, so I want to persuade Miss Song to think about it clearly, the overseas branch can take it, and if you want to return it, I won't take it. ”
Song Yan's expression was still cold, and at this time, Zhengse said: "Teacher Chen, don't worry, there is no turning back when you open the bow." ”
"That's good." Chen Tianhua nodded and said, "I obey the arrangement of the board of directors. ”
"Xiao Chen." Yan Wuji blew open the tea leaves on the teacup at this time, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "Over overseas, if you return to China, will the zuò team be able to withstand it?" ”
"Difficult." Chen Tianhua smiled bitterly, "Even if I am here, I can only support it." Foreign pop music is not the same as that in China, and it takes a while for domestic musicians to go out and adapt. ”
"That young man named Hanguan, isn't he very good?" Yan Wuji asked.
"In terms of controlling the trend of international pop music, he is better than me." Chen Tianhua did not hide anything in front of his teacher, and directly admitted it.
"Speaking of which...... Yan Wuji said, "If Universal wants to make a difference overseas, after you come back, you still have to invite Ye Luo to be the music director overseas."
This young man is a musical prodigy, young, quick to accept new things, and is the best candidate. Otherwise, it is estimated that overseas companies will soon be difficult to support, and your efforts for more than a year will be in vain. ”
"It's certainly for the best." Chen Tianhua smiled bitterly, "It's just that young man, it's not easy to please." ”
The directors present looked at Song Yan in unison.
Song Yan's face flushed with a hint of blush, and she said with some shame: "What are you all watching me do?" ”
"Where do you want to go?" Song Yu obviously knew his sister's thoughts very clearly, and clarified, "You are now the head of an overseas company, please Ye Luo, it is naturally your business." If you don't look at you, who are you looking at? (To be continued......)
